The City of Plymouth will be restricting the intersection of Jefferson & Randolph Streets during the month of May. Beginning May 1, 2025, you will notice white delineator posts reducing the eastbound lane to prevent passing on the right. Delineators will also be placed in the westbound lane of Jefferson St., requiring drivers to widen their turns while attempting to improve pedestrian safety at the crossing. During the mornings and afternoons, left turns off of Jefferson St. onto Randolph St. will be prohibited. A No Left Turn sign will be posted on the crossing guard light cart. The turning restriction will only be while the crossing guard is present. Left turns can still be made at Polk St. (Coffee Lodge) and Liberty St. This project is temporary, allowing the City to study the impact of safety improvements that the project may produce. With this project being approved by the City of Plymouth, disregarding the No Left Turn sign could result in enforcement action being taken by the Police Department. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
La ciudad de Plymouth restringirá la intersección de las calles Jefferson y Randolph durante el mes de mayo. A partir del 1 de mayo de 2025, observará demarcaciones blancas que reducen el carril en dirección este para evitar adelantar por la derecha. También se colocarán demarcaciones en el carril en dirección oeste de la calle Jefferson, lo que obligará a los conductores a ampliar sus giros para mejorar la seguridad peatonal en el cruce. Durante la mañana y la tarde, se prohibirán los giros a la izquierda desde la calle Jefferson hacia la calle Randolph. Se colocará una señal de "No girar a la izquierda" en el carro de luces del guardia de cruce. La restricción de giros solo se aplicará mientras el guardia de cruce esté presente. Los giros a la izquierda aún se pueden realizar en las calles Polk (Coffee Lodge) y Liberty. Este proyecto es temporal, lo que permite a la ciudad estudiar el impacto de las mejoras de seguridad que pueda generar. Con la aprobación de este proyecto por parte de la ciudad de Plymouth, ignorar la señal de "No girar a la izquierda" podría resultar en la aplicación de medidas coercitivas por parte del Departamento de Policía.

Menominee Elementary School Recognized as a Promising Practices Professional Learning Community at Work®
Menominee Elementary School has been recognized by Solution Tree as a Promising Practices Professional Learning Community (PLC) at Work® for its success in improving student achievement through collaboration and data-driven strategies. This recognition places Menominee among only two schools in Indiana– just 101 schools nationwide earned this distinction.
The PLC at Work® process emphasizes three core principles:
Focus on Learning
Build a Collaborative Culture
Create a Results Orientation
Over the past three years, Plymouth Community Schools has prioritized the PLC initiative, with Menominee Elementary staff working diligently to identify essential Indiana Standards, assess student proficiency, and implement targeted strategies to support and extend student learning. Through this process, educators ensure that all students receive the necessary support to achieve proficiency and beyond.
To achieve this recognition, Menominee Elementary provided evidence of: A strong commitment to the PLC at Work® process Implementation of PLC concepts for at least one to two years Clear evidence of improved student learning A detailed explanation of the school’s culture, practices, and structures submitted to the PLC Review Committee
Fourth grade teacher Bryan Kratzer reflected on the journey to becoming a Promising Practices School, saying, "Working toward this achievement has transformed the way we collaborate as a team, using data-driven decisions to guide our students toward proficiency and success."
"Being named a Promising Practices School is a source of great pride for us," said Principal Ryan Welch. "I’ve witnessed the staff at Menominee continuously adapt their practices to improve student outcomes, finding innovative solutions to ensure student success. The grit and perseverance of both staff and students is truly something our community should recognize and celebrate!"
Recognized schools are featured on AllThingsPLC.info, where they share their implementation strategies, structures, and results with other educators seeking to improve their own schools.
Menominee Elementary remains committed to its mission of achieving high levels of learning for all students through collaboration and targeted instruction. This recognition marks an important milestone in their journey toward becoming a Model PLC School.

Webster Elementary School has been recognized as a Model Professional Learning Community at Work®!
One of About 600 Schools and Districts in the US and Canada to Receive This Honor
Webster Elementary was recently recognized by Solution Tree for its sustained success in raising student achievement. The school’s successful implementation of the Professional Learning Communities at Work® (PLC) process was a major contributing factor in the improved achievement of its students. PLCs are schools and districts in which educators recognize that the key to improved learning for students is ongoing, job-embedded learning for the adults who serve those students.
The three big ideas of a PLC call upon educators to:
Focus on learning.
Build a collaborative culture.
Create a results orientation.
Responding to news of the recognition, Principal Brooke Busse said, “Wow...I am beyond excited and so proud of our staff and students! It takes a village to ensure success for all students and I couldn't have imagined doing it alongside anyone else. We have an incredibly dedicated and hardworking staff. Our students feel loved and supported and at the same time understand we expect their best effort every day. Our school motto is 'Together we can do hard things!' which speaks perfectly to our belief in the PLC approach!”
Schools are recognized based on strict criteria, including demonstration of a commitment to PLC concepts, implementation of these concepts for at least three years, and clear evidence of improved student learning over that period. Once measurable results can be seen, the school must explain its practices, structures, and culture and submit its application for consideration by the PLC Review Committee.
According to the Champions of PLC at Work®, educators in the schools and districts selected for this recognition have shown “a sustained commitment to helping all of their students achieve at high levels. They have been willing to alter the structure and culture of the organization to reflect their commitment. We applaud them and congratulate them for achieving this very significant milestone on the never-ending PLC journey.”
Liz Miller, a dedicated educator at Webster Elementary, added, “Being recognized as a Model PLC School is an honor that highlights the dedication and collaboration of our teaching teams and the entire school community. We are committed to following the process and ensuring that our instruction prioritizes the essential knowledge and skills students need to succeed.”
Tana Houin, another incredible educator at Webster, also expressed her pride in the school’s achievement: “I am extremely honored and proud of our entire school in earning the Model PLC designation. This is a result of the hard work, dedication, teamwork, and countless hours of working through the PLC process to develop high-quality, effective instruction to reach the highest learning potential for our students. Webster has consistently created a warm, loving, and nurturing environment which allows all students to succeed.”
Recognized model PLC schools are listed on allthingsplc.info, where they share implementation strategies, structures, and performance with other educators interested in improving their schools. Tools for team collaboration, articles and research about PLCs, blog posts, and other related resources are also available on the site. The site was developed and is maintained by Solution Tree, a leading provider of educational strategies and tools that improve staff and student performance. For more than 25 years, Solution Tree resources have helped K–12 teachers and administrators create schools where all children succeed.
